pickI read If we were villains by M.L.Rio on my train ride to and back from Usedom, an island between Germany & Poland. I wanted to look at the Ostsee, so I did this day trip. The novel is great, and I totally got some The Secret History vibe (which is why I read this after all).
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️,5

pickThis book was simply amazing: instantly enthralling, beautifully written and utterly compelling. I feel rather bereft now that I have finished it.

Excited, yet simultaneously saddened, to be drawing near the end of this marvellous novel. I think I am going to have to re-read most of Shakespeare's tragedies now, and probably Donna Tartt's 'The Secret History' too. #mlrio #ifwewerevillains #shakespeare #tragedy #donnatartt #thesecrethistory #americanfiction #contemporaryfuction #literature #literaryfiction #history #theatre #powerofwords
Still absolutely captivated by this. A marvellously constructed plot, compelling setting and great cast of characters, and all presented in such beautiful packaging by Titan Books. The coffee is gorgeous too! #currentlyreading #ifwewerevillains #mlrio #shakespeare #theatre #mystery #crime #donnatartt #thesecrethistory fiction #literature #literaryfiction
I am always wary of comparisons of any new book with Donna Tartt's magnificent 'The Secret History', but in this case they seem justified so far. This has been completely gripping - I was hooked within the first couple of pages. #ifwewerevillains #thesecrethistory #donnatartt #mlrio #greatreads #currentlyreading #hooked #gripping
